Graffiti

Graffiti tagging holds a unique place within graffiti culture as the most immediate and essential form of urban writing. Reduced to a stylized signature, it emerged in the streets of New York in the late 1960s, driven by a logic of visual identity, territorial presence, and peer recognition. Far from being a simple scribble, the tag is a fully fledged graphic system governed by strict codes: letter style, fluidity of line, mastery of gesture, and the ability to place one's mark in unexpected locations define the status and reputation of its author within the community.

Through rhythm, repetition, and the occupation of public space, it explores notions of presence and urban visibility, while also influencing many contemporary practices, from street art to experimental typography. Figures such as Taki 183, considered one of the pioneers of New York tagging, and later Jean-Michel Basquiat, who translated this graphic energy into the gallery context, illustrate the trajectory of a practice that moved from the street into institutional spaces.

On Artsper, this selection highlights works directly inspired by this graphic universe, where the line becomes an autonomous language and the energy of lettering structures the entire composition.
